2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Game 47 Second Semi Final South Africa v Australia 16/11 1900hrs @ Eden Gardens

[Andronicus]

Anyone checked in on Plugger?

 

[Whiskers]

Surely Miller is player of the match not Head. Being on the winning side has too much influence.
It’s pretty clear.

 

[Bedi]

More than happy if we drop S Smith. Unacceptable shot and proves we can't rely on him

 

[ams4crows]

Great performance from Starc!

 

[FreoRicci]

Australia will love being underdogs.

Massive pressure on India.

Starc, Hazelwood can be damaging

 

[The Passenger]

Now for us to lose by a record amount in the final

The body of the semi final is still warm and you've already got your frown back on!

It's knock-off time here in the UK, I've got tomorrow off work... Time to go and sink some winners piss. Unlikely, but hopefully I run into some South African campaigners.

 

[Bedi]

Should have been MOM for Starc. Three scalps and a solid innings with the bat to steer us home.

Absolutely!

 

[jhong]

Props to Coetzee, got smashed by head early and kept his composure

Got some serious pace .

Haha nah I just saw us struggle badly against South African spinners and we get to play India next. Would be 10-1 odds of winning

Top man, I'm off out for a few as well

We were one Marsh shelled catch from having them 4-10 last time

Here come the pissweak "can’t win the final" comments.

Indie have such a strong team allround. Will need everything to go right for Aussies to have a chance. 130 000 screaming Indian fans at the ground would be pretty intimidating as well.

I'd still give Miller man of the match - he was the only reason this was a contest.

Be great to see one of those innings from either Marsh or Maxwell in a big final….

Also get Kohli cheap to take away their security blanket and turn up the heat !!

1.50 v 2.80 - feels about right. India slightly better value, but not loads in it. Maybe 1.40 v 3.20 IMO.

India need an off day to lose, but that was the story regardless of who they faced in the final.

Best team in the world.
Home decks.
Home crowds.
Changing pitches to suit themselves.

But hey... All you can do is put yourself in a position to take advantage if they have an off day and we've done just that.

Time to swap my South Africa shirt for an India shirt, hopefully we can get some revenge for the 2003 WC final.

I've got faith in RohitSharma, King Kohli and the rest of our guys that we can knock off you Aussies in the final.

 

[Neese]

Can we enjoy the win before the negativity comes out?

Head scored so fast it allowed us to poke and prod to a win, a slow start on this deck would have made that impossible he basically won game before our middle order tried their best to lose it.

You can do whatever you like lol

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Starc- stepped up in a final
Hazelwood- Likewise
Marsh- Disappeared
Maxwell- No show (with bat)
Smith- Dissappointing
Zampa- Very Ordinary

Plenty improvement required to beat India

Smith played a woeful shot to get out but he batted well without him we lose by 50

You're a sad little man aren't you

I don't need your permission

It’s pretty clear.

Head got 60 and 2 wickets, it’s the same contribution one was on a winning side

Head Maxwell Warner starc really feels like one of them needs game of their life for us to win, India have more match winners we have relied heavily on smaller group but never know somebody like head has a special game we could pull off upset.
